If you think there\u2019s nothing else to Bacolod\u2019s food tourism other than the famed chicken inasal<\/em>, Caf\u00e9 Bob\u2019s<\/strong> will make you think again. They don\u2019t serve chicken inasal<\/em>, but the caf\u00e9 is almost always full of customers.<\/p>\n

Cafe Bob\u2019s has been around for more than a decade, long before commercial coffee shops opened in Bacolod. There were few, if any, coffee shops in the city, and the launching of Cafe Bob\u2019s in 2003 raised a few eyebrows. Bobby Magalona and his wife, however, confronted the uncertainties and merged their passion for baking and specialty coffee into a cafe.<\/p>\n

Now, Cafe Bob\u2019s rule the roost in Bacolod\u2019s cafe scene, and its wide selection of homemade gelato, coffee, and pastries seems to have been the main reason for this local cafe\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

Through the years, gelato has become synonymous with Cafe Bob\u2019s. For owner Bobby Magalona, the secret to why many people love their gelato is the freshness. They make their own ice cream every day with locally sourced and fresh ingredients, which makes their gelato a healthier option than regular ice creams.<\/p>\n

They have different gelato flavors that are all very tempting, but we recommend that you first try Dark Choco<\/strong> if you\u2019re a chocolate lover trying to live healthily. Also, try\u00a0Salted Caramel<\/strong>\u00a0and let yourself indulge in a heavenly blend of sweet and salty flavors in one creamy dessert.<\/p>\n

At Cafe Bob’s, you will also find a delectable display of cake creations\u00a0by the wife herself. A must-try is their\u00a0Ube Leche Flan<\/strong>\u00a0cake, a tribute to the locals whose favorite sweet treats always include\u00a0ube\u00a0(purple\u00a0yam) and leche flan. Their\u00a0Baked Speculous<\/strong>\u00a0is also an awesome treat for people with a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

\"\"Baked Speculous (Php 113\/slice; Php 1,300\/whole)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Combine your cake or gelato with a comforting cup of coffee like\u00a0Caramel Macchiato<\/strong>\u00a0while\u00a0relaxing, talking with friends, or doing your business. If you want to enjoy your caffeine boost with a little punch, go for their\u00a0Bailey’s Mocha Frapp<\/strong>, an enjoyable refreshment\u00a0that won’t get your drunk but will surely whip you up.<\/p>\n

Cafe Bob’s also takes pride in their food offerings. Their highly recommended dish, which many foodies have also come to love, is their\u00a0Pizza Negrense<\/strong>, a handmade pizza made with chorizo, quail egg, cheese and tomato sauce, freshly prepared and baked in a stone oven.<\/p>\n

There is also a deli shop next to the main cafe, where customers can buy ingredients,\u00a0create their own sandwiches, and enjoy them right at the caf\u00e9 while enjoying other food and coffee offerings by Caf\u00e9 Bob\u2019s.<\/p>\n
